Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprises: a clock driver for outputting a clock signal; a clock wiring which is driven by the clock driver for transmitting the clock signal; a plurality of logic circuits which are connected to the clock wiring to be synchronously operated in response to the clock signal; and a plurality of delay circuits, each of which is provided between a corresponding one of the logic circuits and the clock wiring for delaying the clock signal, wherein a delay amount of each of the delay circuits is designed so that the delay amounts of the clock signal from the output of the clock driver to the inputs of the logic circuits are equal to each other. Thus, it is possible to reduce clock skew and to evade an increase in layout area.

Abstract: A master portion may introduce input data thereinto in a low level period of a clock and then hold and output the input data therefrom in a high level period of the clock. A slave portion may introduce input data thereinto in the high level period of the clock and then hold and output the input data therefrom in the low level period of the clock. Two exclusive NOR circuits may compare present logic values of the input data with logic values in a preceding half period of the clock to determine coincidences therebetween respectively, and then control output states of the input data held in the master portion and the slave portion based on results of their comparisons.

Abstract: An impedance element is disclosed which is formed with an electro-elastic surface wave transducing device composed of a substrate for the propagation of an elastic surface wave and an electro-elastic surface wave transducer disposed on the substrate for converting an electrical signal into an elastic surface wave or vice versa. The impedance element has a frequency-impedance characteristic that it exhibits a sufficiently high impedance in a predetermined frequency band but a sufficiently low impedance in the other frequency bands.Further, a band-rejection filter is disclosed which includes the abovesaid impedance element and has a band-rejection filter characteristic dependent upon the frequency-impedance characteristic of the impedance element.
